OSWEGO, NY – Exelon Generation’s Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Unit 1 was removed from service at approximately 7 a.m. today (March 17) for planned maintenance that will help ensure reliable summer operations.

During the outage, technicians will replace a pump seal and perform valve maintenance.

This work cannot be completed while the unit is online and will not impact Unit 2 operations.

Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station is located seven miles northeast of Oswego and 50 miles north of Syracuse.

The station can produce more than 1,937 megawatts of carbon-free electricity – enough to power nearly two million homes.
